Coffee Blues 2020

Takashi Murakami's *Coffee Blues* (2020) is a unique and charming example of the artist’s signature style. It features a white stylized flower with a smiling face, known as the "Smiling Flower" motif, on a brown background, reminiscent of coffee-stained paper. Murakami's work often explores themes of Japanese popular culture and the duality of cuteness and grotesque, making for a compelling and thought-provoking artwork that captivates viewers.
